ART at Cat Beach!

ART AT THE BEACH

In the spirit of the amazing annual George Town Festival (thanks to all at GTF for including us in their promotion), Cat Beach invites artists and creatives of all ages to create ART FOR CATS’S SAKE! Your creative project can help benefit the 100 plus cats living at Cat Beach!

The ART FOR CATS’ SAKE PROJECT will run throughout the year with contests and prizes! (and continue as part of the new SEACATS ART GALLERY).

Artists are invited to create artworks inspired by Cat Beach – anything / any media. The Number One Rule of the Game is that somewhere in the art, there has to be a cat to qualify! Even a tiny one…

Get Inspired!

Many ideas for artworks are inspired by a visit to Cat Beach — we hope you will come visit but that is not required if you want to work at home or elsewhere. We love artists and welcome anyone who wants to come work at the beach…

Possible Themes!

The sea and its creatures, the beach and its tropical scene, the need to care for the environment, the welfare of animals, and of course, the playfulness of cats — these and many more concepts may be expressed in your art. We hope you will choose to make light-hearted and fun designs!

Prizes!

Among the prizes already lined up include — 1) A catered picnic and cruise to Monkey Beach 2) Your choice of art donated by artists 3) Your choice of 1 to 5 books from the Travelers’ Bookshop at 2nd Chances Charity Store 4) Your choice of 1 to 3 items from 2nd Chances.

The Rules of the Game

Artists who enter need to understand and agree to the Rules of the Game. As an Artist, I understand and agree that..

The artwork may take almost any shape or form but must include a cat in the design.

No nude, pornographic or offensive visuals, words. or other will be utilized in the artwork.

The creation of artworks by the Artist is the Artist’s responsibility and in no way obligates the Cat Beach Sanctuary or Cat Lovers International Society for financial or other support.

Given the proximity to the sea and the beach, the open air setting, as well as the unpredictability of cats and other creatures, artworks may not survive these and other factors. Artists understand that their artwork may be affected or even destroyed.

Artists may choose from many possible sites to create and display their works including ceilings, walls, floors, cement walks and platforms. Artists agree to consult with and follow the guidance of Cat Beach representatives as to where their work will be created and/or shown. Cat Beach reps may also adjust the location of the art if the need arises.

Artists and other visitors to the property understand and agree that it is at their own risk and that Cat Beach Sanctuary and Cat Lovers International Society will not be held responsible in cases of accident, injury, theft, or any other event or circumstances.
